Nation Profiles

In Geopolitics, Nations are the most important units, and they are the primary actors on the international stage.

Nations are the basic building blocks of the international system, with the power to shape the world and change the course of history.

For each nation, a Synthetic Strength Indicator is constructed in order to assess its relative strength.

Additionally, 40 distinct indicators are collected, and brief analyses are conducted across 15 different dimensions for each nation, in order to get a better understanding of its standing in the world.

Countries' Profiles are available on a rotation basis | reach out at contentaccess@greatpowergeopolitics.com for full access
